H O W T H E W I N T E R G E T S I N

I ask you where you want to go

you say nowhere

but your eyes make a wish

An absent chiropractor

you stroke my wrist

I'm almost fooled into

greasy circular snores

when I notice your eyes

sounding the wall for

dynamite points

like a doctor at work on a TB chest

Nowhere you say again in a kiss

go to sleep

First tell me your wish

Your lashes startle on my skin

like a seismograph

An airliner's perishing drone

pulls the wall off our room

like an old Band-aid

The winter comes in

and the eyes I don't keep

tie themselves to a journey

like wedding tin cans

Ways Mills

November z963
